' EYEGLAss-MOUNTING;

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 17, 1910.

Application l'ed .Tune 28, 1909.\ Serial No. 504,931.

Be it known that I, GUs'rAv-A. BADER, a

citizen of the United States, and resident of' In the drawings z-Figure1 is a top view of a pair of eye-glasses equipped with the improvements;Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Figs. 3 and 4 show amodification, Fig. 3 being aside view of Fig. 4, looking to the right,and the'latter being a section on aline corresponding with 2-2 of Fig.1; Fig'. 5 is a partial top view of either Fig. 2 or Fig. 4; Figs. 6 and7 show another ,modicatiom Fig. 7 being a section on a linecorresponding with2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 being a side View of Fig. 7,looking to the right; andFi 8 and 9 show still another` modification,ig. 8 being a section on a line corresponding with 2-2 of Fig. 1, andFig.

9 being a top view.

The invention relates specifically to the noseards and nose clamps, andWhile a rigid l ow 1, and. .lens-clips 2, 2, are shown, they merelyserve to eX lain vthe positiony and operation ofthe nove features.Furthermore, the nose-guards are represented as pivotally supported,adjacenftothe clips, by

bolts 4, 4 that are threaded into theceniinuation of the bow at eachend, and levers 53st' are shown for operating the nose-guards, but thatparticular construction is not essential. The novel features are thosewhich particularly relate to the connections ofthe nose-'guards '6,6,'with their brackets 3, 3, which will now be described.

' Referring rst to the construction shown u in Figs. 1 and 2, it will beobserved that the cnoseards are pivoted, respectively, to their racketsat 8, 8, and that for this urpose lugs 7, 7 are secured to the backs othe nose-guards; also that the -u perends 9, 9

end of a sprin 10 that is put under tension and tends bot to holdyieldingly towardl each otherthe brackets that carry the noseguards, andto rock the nose-guards themselves toward eachother at their upper ends.The springs 10, 10 shown forthis purpose are coiled upon the bolts 4, 4,and have each an end extended to engage one lof the noseguards in themanner and for vthe purpose explained, and another end extended to endertension. The ends of the brackets3, 3

nose-guards under the action of the springs,

these ends having shoulders engaging the 3St in Figs. 3 and 6. Thelevers 5, 5 are used to spread the brackets apart.

from that just described in that the noseguards 6, 6*", brackets 3, 3,that they are adapted to rotate thereon in two directions instead ofone.

6a, 6a directly to the brackets 3,3, as before,

brackets 3, 3, as at 13, 13, and thenoseguards are pivoted,respectively, to these latter passing through ears 15, 15""oii-tli'ebrackets 12, 12. As before, springs under tension hold the brackets v3,3 yieldingly opposite each other and tilt the upper end of each`nose-guard 6a toward the' other, doing secondary' bracket 1 2, and,Vthe ends 3, 38L 'of the brackets 3, 3 act as stops. In the contion ofthe iiose-guards about the axes of The construction shown in Figs. 6 and7 differs from that lastdescribed only in' the fact that the springs 10,10, which are under` tension asbefore described, engage the nosecase.inside the plane of the bolts-14, 14, and above their -pivotedconnection with the inwardly and are yieldin ly, held in that positionby the springs. uitable stops, as for example 16, 16a on the secondarybrackets 12, 12 limit the movement of the the bolts 14, 14.

tically t e same as. thatshown in Figs. 3 and 4, except that in additionto the springs Figs. 3 and 4 engage under tension arms 17, 17 on -thesecondary brackets' 12, 12 that gage the frame at 11,'whereby it is heldun- 60 act as stops to limit the inclination of thev nose-guards as inthe 'case of the shoulders 65 The honstructionof Figs. 3 and 4 differsare soconnected with the 70 Thus, instead of pivoting the nose-guards lother brackets 12, 12 are pivoted to the 75 nose-guards and ears 16,16onl the secondary so in this case by engaging an arm 17 on the 85struction'showii in Figs. 3. and 4, the rota- A the bolts 14, 14 isfreefroin spring control. 90

19, while a second pair of springs 20, 20 are coiled upon extensions14a, 14a of the bolts 14, 14, engaging at one end, under tension,

the nose-guards at points 21, 21 (that are insidethe-axis of said boltsand above their pivotal connections 13, 13 with the brackets 3, 3), andat their other end engaging the brackets 3, 3. Accordingly, in thisconstruction (that shown in Figs. 8 and 9), the upperends ofthenose-guards are yieldingly tilted forward toward each other till 15they engage as before the ends 3a, 321 of the nose-guards 3, 3, and 'atthe same time the1r forward edges are turned inwardly till they engagestops 16a, 16a on the secondary brackets 12, 12, being held in thatposit1on 20 yieldingly by the said second set of springs.
